Project Overview

Big Box Leisure Club required a comprehensive electrical upgrade as part of a wider refurbishment programme to enhance its fitness, leisure and customer facilities. Existing electrical systems no longer met the demands of the modernised venue and required replacement to support new equipment, lighting and operational requirements.

The project involved the removal of existing electrical installations before undertaking a full electrical reinstatement throughout the club. Our team delivered a complete rewire, new containment systems, upgraded power distribution, energy-efficient lighting and data infrastructure across gym areas, studios, changing facilities and communal spaces.

Careful coordination with other contractors was essential to ensure works progressed efficiently, maintaining programme deadlines while delivering the highest standards of workmanship, safety and compliance.
